Echoing the lyrics from his 1997 hit single, Will Smith is coming (back) to Miami. This time, he’s bringing film crews, movie sets, star power — and traffic delays?

In a post on Instagram last week, the actor announced that he’s filming in South Florida for the the fourth installment in the “Bad Boys” franchise. The movie, which is still untitled, is scheduled to be released on June 14.
